June 25 – Oven-hot New York felt like a slice of heaven at the premiere of the summer blockbuster Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. The movie’s glamorous stars Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu and costars Luke Wilson and Justin Theroux stopped traffic at the Loews Lincoln Square theater. Handlers warned us that couple of the moment, Demi Moore and her young beau, Ashton Kutcher, wouldn’t stop to talk, but we did get a photo for you. We don't know how Demi’s ex, Bruce Willis, remained so cool wearing a leather jacket and a hat in the wilting heat. Before the screening, Sony America CEO Howard Stringer admitted he hadn’t yet seen the film, but gave us his review: “It’s full of beautiful women. What could be bad?” Drew Barrymore is still wild at heart – she arrived at the after party hanging out of a limousine window, to the delight of fans and the horror of her insurance company.

We sure felt fat amidst the swarm of skinny fashion models at the Viva Glam Casino benefit for AIDS charity Diffa. M.A.C. Cosmetics sponsored the event, and supermodel Maggie Rizer hosted. Rizer said she and her sister grew up accepting that their father was living with AIDS. He lost his battle with the disease eleven years ago. The elegant marble ballroom at the Regent Wall Street hotel was turned into a casino, with gambling proceeds going to the cause. Winners received gifts instead of cash. How’s that for exercising your vice guilt-free?
